TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.
.'some Rolisf Must DO FOUND by the Repre-
seuts,iyss OF the PeOple !"
Philar elphia Rec0 d.

Ghllar elpnlA heCO u.
Tomorrow, by virtue of an agreement
entered into between the managers of the
Western UdioR Telegraph Company and
the President OF the Postal Telegraph
Company, the ten snd twenty cent rates
on telegrsphiC messages will cease to
exist. On and after November l, twenty
five cents will De the lowest chsrge for
san-word message. This is the highest
minimum exsctad for teiegraphic service
III anv C viiized country. Ii Great Britain
twenty 6o-cs may be sent for one shilling
to any part Of tue Uoited Kingdom. In
Germany ten words to sny section OF the
empire would cost seventeen and one
h.lf cents. In France the minimum rate
is fifty centimes-less than ten
cents-for which twenty words may be
sent; and similar charge is made in Bel
GUM and Swift srland. In al these coun-
ries-and ell other European countries as
well-the telegraph is operated by the
government IS apart CT the postal system.
The oppressed deniZan OF efate Europe
doesn't write letter to his family if he
happens to be in hurry. He sends d
re egram. Social messages form SO per
cent OF the business Of European tele-
graph lines. In this land of the free this
sort of business Was estimated few
years ago By Western Union Cf6cial OF
not more than or 6 per cent. OF the
whole. 1t is now, according 10 the best
authority, not more than IL per cent. OF
the total amount.
What has caused these differences be-
tween the use and cost of telegrsphiC
service in Europe and this country Tel
egrephy is en- American invention, and
our electricians have been foremost in
expanding It's possibilities of usefulness
The first telegraph line ever built was
constructed in this country, with gov
eminent money, and operated By the gov
eminent as branch of the postal serv-
Ice between Washington aud Baltim re
for nesrly three years. How is it that
now at the end of forty years, the charges
for telegrapbic service to the public have
| been plsced st figure that is practically
prohibitory, except for commercial ousi-
ness?
The question brings its Own answer
When Congress in 1916, by an act OF e
| islative folly that has already cost the
people of this country many millions o.
dollars in excessive expense OF telegraph
| ing, abandoned the field Of telegraphy I,
private enterprise, the legislators for TIT

People just now in Corstantinopie are
interested il the presence among them Of
Kara FAtms, the redoubtable female war
rior of Kurdistan, who has come On visit
to the Turkish capital. Her deeds OF
proves date back to the beginning of the
Crimeen war, when she led large body
of Kurdish volunteers, who fought with
singular daring for Turkey.
The Ottoman government remembers
her services and requites these by g
monthly pension Of 5000 piestres, sum
that in her own frugal home allows her to
live with ease. she Is tall and thin, with
a brown, hawk like face; her cheeks are
the color OF parchment and scanned with
scars. Wearing the national dress OF the
sterner sex, she looks like man of forty,
not like woman who will never again
see seventy five. Slung across her shout
ders in Cossack fashion is her long sabre
with it's ieweled hilt. Decorations shine
and sparkle on her breast, while the
stripes across her sleeve show her to be
captain in the Ottoman army.
